GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS - Legendary Pictures' Godzilla 2

Can I tell you I actually thought they did a decent job with the mother daughter relationship especially when the mother sacrificed herself at the end I actually felt for them. It was an interesting dynamic for me of when a loving relationship has to deal with a harsh reality of someone you love being responsible for wrong choices. Even though she called her a monster at the end of the day deep inside she still obviously loved her which I think added a decent enough layer of storytelling.

I've seen some people saying how the human plot was stupid because the motives seemed bogus but I disagree. Thankfully I haven't personally suffered the loss of a child, but I've had a few scares and had a tasted of those sorts of emotions and I can totally believe the impact such a loss would have on someone and at the hand of something as fantastical as a giant monster, I could see growing such a distorted sense of purpose to justify what's going on, trying to believe that your loss was part of some greater action and feeling a need to facilitate that action so it isn't just your loss but but a shared world experience. Similar for Jonah, it's not that far fetched to believe someone has lost all faith in man to the point of being disgusted with his every action and feeling a need to hit a reset button on the world.

Doesn't make a lot of sense if you kill your remaining child in the process.

Sure it does, everyone of us has made at least on decision in our lives thinking it was for the best outcome and some negative outcome we didn't consider came out of it. When you're consumed by a purpose, you don't think everything through.

I get where rush is coming from and under normal circumstances I would agree with him but I do think with it not being under normal circumstances that really crazy decisions are going to be made.

Hell crazy decisions are made every day even when under normal circumstances.

 

[rushmore223]

But then that reasoning could apply to any degree of horrible decision making.

I felt like someone should have brought up the fact that Dr. Graham died because of her when she was talking to them on that video screen thing. It was established that they were all her colleagues and friends and that's an appeal that would make sense to bring up. I also didn't feel right about the movie trying to sympathize with her after the massive amount death and destruction she caused.

lol @ your friend JAWS

And you’re 100% right about how Godzilla was presented this time.

Dude I like this movie so much that it’s making me think that I need to own Kong Skull Island.

In all honesty I did not mind the human characters at all... I just wish that the camera did not switch back to them time and time again.

Not sure about the Mother's redemption arc. I get where you are coming from but that crazy ***** basically was willing to kill her husband during the Ghidorah first appearance

I love the actress that played the mother. Always have. The twist was kind of cool at the time (Even thought the trailers gave it away basically but I forgot about it) but I would have still preferred a more classic "rescue mission" plot.

Either way.. Good to know that you like it as much as you did. Buying Skull Island? Wow? I will believe it when I see it .

While I left the theater happy but slightly let down due to the monster screen time.. Time and reflection has been wonderful to this movie for me.. Such a nice change compared to how I feel about Endgame.

Watched the Burning Godzilla scene again... That scene basically negates any issues I have with the film

Yeah there are some truly awe inspiring magical Kaiju moments in KOTM that not even 14. Pacific Rim 1, Kong or Shin can equal.

In 14 I loved his power up scene but KOTM cranked it up to maximum ludicrous levels lol

 

[jye4ever]

I liked what I saw in the trailer so much, I also bought Skull Island 3D. Yet to watch it. The WB sale helped seal the deal.

If I remember correctly from my theatrical viewing and only one at that the 3-D was great in Kong.

While Endgame had some great moments and closure to that series, the overall cinematic experience of KOTM was far more satisfying for me than Endgame was, and I'm glad I got KOTM after so I could be uplifted, had it come out first like originally scheduled, I think it would have made Endgame feel deflating for my overall 2019 cinematic journey. I had fun with Captain Marvel, Endgame was dramatically satisfying but not necessarily a "fun" movie, and now KOTM was a blast.

Listen I’m just in shock that I enjoyed Aladdin lol

There's a shot of him

Spoiler

just before he finished off Ghidorah in burning mode

where he basically does this pose and it's one of my favorite shots of the film, he looks so amazing in it.

It was fun nothing more nothing less.

Back to big G I still think that his foot entrance at the airport in 14 remains tops for representation of scale but I absolutely do not like his roar at the end of that it is too high pitched for my liking.

Not picking on you. I didn't like it, but from the reaction in the theater, I'm in the minority.

I need a good movie to break up this disappointing movie streak I'm on. I don't think Dark Phoenix is going to be that movie.

If someone would put the Godzilla theme over the airport scene like they did to his entrance in KOTM...the airport scene would be a no brained as greatest entrance. For now it’s hard to choose.

Saw this yesterday. First off I’m not a fan of going to the theatres. Even when my theatre has huge lazy boy reclining lounge couch chairs (at regular price). I pretty much want it to be over before it starts so I can say I’ve watched it and not have it spoiled. My true movie experience is in the comfort of my own home 60” screen with surround sound and……SUBTILTLES!!!!

I don’t watch trailers as I like to see a movie the first…the first time. I can’t remember the last movie I saw in the threatre’s to which I came out saying “WOW that was ****ing good”. Same can be said about this movie still look forward to purchasing this on blu ray day one!!! (I have a thing for Monster movies)

Oh gosh I actually do not agree at all I think the airport scene chanting music was perfect for that slow entrance I was really just referring to actual scale which Gareth was known for being very proficient at due to his VFX background but overall I still prefer KOTM 2nd AND 3rd entrance over 14 airport which says quite a lot because that airport entrance was oh so glorious.
